The younger prophet heard from the the LORD that he was not to eat and drink with those he had been sent to and he was not to return the same way he came. The older prophet deceived the younger one and told him that the word of the LORD had come to him and he should eat and drink with him. He obeyed the older prophet instead of obeying the LORD and the younger prophet lost his life as a result. This is a reminder to me that I should hear God's word for myself and obey what His instructions are for me.
